Rockaway Film Festival presents cinema and other arts at the coastal edge of New York City, joining artists and audiences for unique collective experiences.

Coming Up

Our eighth annual film festival takes place August 20–24. This is the year of the wood snake: a time of dynamic transformation. Undulating through patterns of creation, collapse, and renewal, this program is guided by endings that become beginnings.
